    Bacon Bacon, Egg, and Cheese on Everything bagel
    Evelyn M.

    The bagel was really good. I got the bacon egg and cheese and for how filling it was it was priced pretty fairly. The shop is pretty unassuming when you look at it, but it's tasty. Service is fast and really nice.

    I found this bagel shop walking near south street Amtrak stop, and decided to go in to get me a bagel. Quality has gone downhill since the last time I ate from here two months ago. I ordered a toasted bagel with creamcheese and my friend got egg and cheese on bagel. We waited about 15 minutes with three other people in front of us - fine, I understand it's busy during lunch time. However, upon receiving our order, the order was such a disappointment. My bagel wasn't toasted, was small, and was just ok. My friend's sandwich looked premade. He tossed half of it because it tasted like plastic and wasn't even warm. He said the eggs were the most disgusting thing. I would love to like this place, but overall can't justify ever paying $17 for two bagels ever again. And to think some of their bagel sandwiches go up to close to $20! I just think for the price, the quality is no longer there The staff were nasty and didn't care about customers coming in to the store. You're better off getting something from Dunkin' Donuts!!

    Plain bagel with butter
    Francesca L.

    Quick service which is surprising given how busy they are with corporate orders. $5 for a plain bagel seems expensive and it certainly is for how chewy the bagel is and how little butter they put on it. Disappointing. They also didn't cut the bagel- I had to rip it in half as you can see in the photo. Decent location. Close to south station and plenty of offices. Looked clean inside but nothing special in the interior.

    Bacon, Egg, and Cheese

    For what it is, this bagel place gets the job done. Now getting into it, don't get the bagel toasted, leave it how it is so you can have a doughy, good experience. The egg and cheese were great but they really feel short with the microwaved bacon. Flavorless and small. The service was quick and the people were friendly, the bagels are made in house and are delicious. I can't give it more than three stars because of how much the bacon held it back.

Inside were multiple food, beverage and merchandise stands. We saw the Bagel Guild stands which was closed as we got to the market later in the evening. We looked it up and saw that the bagels look great and the place had really good reviews on YELP. We made a point of going back the next morning for breakfast. It was a great decision!!! The staff were nice and seemed to be happy. My wife ordered the everything bagel with Nova. Because this was our annual eating our way through Boston trip, we shared it. The bagel was a definite WOW!!!! Great flavor, perfect pull and texture. The toppings which were red onion, capers, Nova and a dill cream cheese were absolutely delicious. Never had dill cream cheese before, but it made everything just come together and was excellent. It was so good that we actually went back the following morning and had it a second time. I do have to apologize as I've put in some other post. It was so good that we forgot to take the picture because we ate it so fast. If you're in Boston, I recommend making a point of getting to bagel guild. If there's a line just wait you will be happy you did.

Only tried the beet root hummus and not the vegan cream cheese but was delicious and felt healthy. I do wish the hummus had a bit more flavor. Could be blended with garlic/ lemon/ salt or something... just a little bland but overall happy to have tried & a good experience.

The blueberry bagel I had that day was absolutely superb, probably the best blueberry bagel I've ever had in Boston. A few days later, I craved that same blueberry bagel and made the trip back, which is a considerable drive for me. Upon arrival, I was told that blueberry bagels are not offered every day and are only available on Thursdays. I returned the following Thursday, but the experience was very different. I got blueberry, poppy, and a few other bagels to take home. Unfortunately, all of them were absolutely disappointing. They tasted extremely off and very different from the blueberry bagel I had previously. At home, my family ate about half of what we purchased, but none of us had any desire to finish the rest. Overall, the experience was unpleasant, and the bagels were not enjoyable at all. The blueberry bagel from my first visit looked and tasted amazing and was completely different in quality from what I received on my second visit. On top of that, the person behind the counter seemed careless with hygiene, touching the screen, bagels, and other surfaces without any apparent attention to cleanliness. It felt like a completely different place compared to my first visit just a couple of weeks earlier. Overall, I'm extremely disappointed.

Went on a Friday around 11:30am (FYI use Yelp to get address or Google Maps - Apple Maps took us somewhere else). Located in Seaport district with plenty of outdoor seating available. You do have to order a minimum of 3 bagels with a Schmear so just keep that in mind. We got the Poppy, Sesame, and Everything bagels with Scallion Schmear. Bagels were perfectly soft and the schmear was delicious! I wasn't sure how I would feel about the concept of ripping the bagels and dipping it into the cream cheese, but I actually ended up preferring it - less messy and more cream cheese per bite. Wish PopUp Bagels was in the Bay Area. I would definitely return!

Want your bagel toasted with cream cheese? Nope. They don't toast there. Single serve cream cheese? Nope, gotta buy a full tub. Having never been there before with a group of out-of-towners, we did not know that. Since the minimum order is 3 we decided the three of us would place an order together and all get one bagel + cream cheese, not understanding that it was a full tub of cream cheese each because no one explained that to us. That order of 3 bagels plus a drink came to $29!!! The bagels may be fresh out of the oven, but there is still a difference in the texture and consistency of a toasted bagel that I strongly prefer. Their bagels are super doughy and soft, almost gummy inside. And you have to eat them right away or they get hard. And the everything bagels are so overloaded they make an insane mess as soon as you pick them up. Expect seeds to go literally everywhere. Wholly underwhelming and overpriced. Not for me.

The space is pretty tight and it was really busy when I showed up but absolutely cleared out as I sat down to eat. I ordered a cold brew, which was a bit watery, but I like it super dark so it's probably just my taste preference. They put the milk/cream in for you and you pick the coffee up in a separate spot from the food. They call your name for both pickups. For food I got the devilled egg open face bagel that has bacon on top on a whole wheat everything bagel. Eating it was intense. I couldn't put it down once I picked up each side and had to be very careful not to spill the egg mixture off the top. It took a while to eat but was amazingly delicious and exactly what I wanted. I would eat it everyday if I could. If it came with micro greens on top, it would be even better. The mixture had red onions which gave it a punch and crunchy texture. I considered adding salt to the mixture on top but I'm glad I didn't because the bagel itself had sea salt so each bite was salty enough. When I ordered I asked if I could also get 2 bagels to bring home and I was told the limit is 1 on weekends and 2 during the week. The manager (I assume) stepped in and said I could have 2 so I chose the rosemary sea salt, which the only have on weekends. I made breakfast sandwiches on them the next day and it was heavenly. This is a spot to check out!

There's a small park with shaded benches about 2 blocks away (Elliot Norton Park) which is a great place to sit down and devour the food. I ordered the Mission Breakfast Burrito and it was delicious. As of August 2026, the website lists the burrito as $14, but the price on the in-person menu was $16. I would give the burrito 4 out of 5 stars because of the way it was wrapped - about a third of the burrito was just egg and cheese and the toppings (avocado, red onion, hash browns, salsa verde, crema) were crammed on the other side of the burrito. If there was a way for the burrito to be wrapped so all the ingredients were more evenly distributed - this would easily be a 5/5 breakfast burrito. One random detail that stuck out to me was that their drinks in their refrigerator were very cold - no lukewarm sodas here! I would come back here to try their signature "Fancy" sandwich. Overall, this is a very solid breakfast spot in Boston!
